Lack Lego table

Description: My son plays with his Lego almost daily but I got tired of them all over my coffee table. Some of his creations he didn’t want take apart and put away and he likes to sit at the table. I wanted something that wasn’t too terribly big and that wasn’t made out of plastic as most premade Lego tables are.

Easy solution, I bought a side Lack table (beauty that it comes in so many colors to match your decor) and four 10×10 Lego base boards. I then placed the boards where I wanted. My original thought was to epoxy glue them down but why ruin the table? I used adhesive putty to secure the boards to the table. That way the boards stay put and when he grows out of Legos I can still use the table for something else. It’s a perfect height for sitting on a footstool to play and I slide my tote (to keep his Legos) under the table.

Too simple.

We have a ramvik coffee table and end tables, and with the glass tops they aren’t too twin three yr old friendly… but after seeing this I’m inspired to remove the glass and stick lego boards on them! The drawer could hold legos! Of course I would have to put rubber child proofing on the corners. With twin boys one finds herself covering every corner child height! I just had to comment on such an awesome idea!!!

I love it!But I also REALLY love the idea of having a hole in the middle to ‘throw’ the legos inside once done. Any ideas how to do it? I could attach a sliding drawer under the table but it’s not as cool as having a hole in the middle. We just need to figure out a way to make the lego base removable. Using putty is not the solution. Maybe make it sliding? But how would you stop it from sliding when you don’t want it to slide…oh boy! Here goes my weekend. I’ll think think think and come back with a plan

This is a super idea! My grandson’s have a birch lack table with little wooden chairs from Ikea that they use for a dining table and love because they can use for everything from eating to coloring and playing with toys. I will say that after a year the little table is pretty scratched up on top and now I know what to do with it when I buy a replacement I love it!! Thanks sooo much for sharing.

Oooh, i like the hole in the center idea, and perhaps the addition of some side rails so things don’t slide off.

Personally, i’d have no qualms about permanently affixing lego boards to a $12 table. Not only is it impossible to “outgrow” lego, but if and when that ever does happen the table is going to be pretty beat up anyways…. might just as well buy a new one (or a nicer table for yourself).
